_Meanwhile, an investigation is underway into a video which apparently shows British soldiers abusing helpless Iraqi civilians._

Oh please.

Let me re-write some text for the lovely news media outlets.

Brutal British troops attacked a peaceful group of Iraqis as they headed to Old Navy to purchase some high performance fleece sweater-vest.

There has been no explanation for this unprovoked action.

Was this over the top? Yeah, but come on - these guys weren’t exactly running through the streets grabbing random Iraqis to beat on.

…and this is 2 years old…

I guess there will be more embassies getting burned down.
